Memorial to Abbot William Malvern in Gloucester Cathedral
The Benedictine abbey was founded about 1022 and was dedicated to Saint Peter.[2] It is recorded that the abbey lost about a quarter of its complement of monks in 1377 due to the Black Death.
In 1540, the abbey was dissolved by King Henry VIII, and it became Gloucester Cathedral the following year.[3]
